Everytime a CD arrives here at Froglix we act very much like kids at Christmas who can’t wait to shred the wrapping paper that stands between them and their coveted gifts. Such was the case with a package we recently received from the UK. The treasure inside? Ring of Truth‘s debut disc entitled Everything’s the same but in a different place…and a treasure it truly is. The old and the new collide beautifully on this disc and treat the listener to an unsullied sound that clearly draws from a variety of sources for inspiration. Think Midnight Oil meets Echo and the Bunnymen with a bit more edginess or, better yet, English Alt-Rock done right. Stand out tracks include: “Why Should This Be?”, “Passing of Time”, “A Spanish Hunger” and “Smile”.
